Vol. 399 No. 2

Written Answers. - Fuel Consumption Guide for Cars.

Richard Bruton

Ceist:

56 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Energy if he has considered publishing or displaying details of fuel consumption of different models of cars under various conditions.

As part of my Department's 1989 Energy Conservation Programme, EOLAS carried out a study of possible measures whereby fuel efficiency in cars and transport fleets could be improved. One of the areas identified in the study was the publication of a fuel consumption guide for cars.

My Department will have discussions with the car industry as soon as possible to look into the feasibility of such a guide.
